Following Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids earlier this month, Champaign Police Chief Anthony Cobb stated to the public that his department is not directly involved with the enforcement of immigration law unless it is obligated by a court order. “(Cobb’s statements were) really about educating the community on what the local police department’s role is versus what Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s role is,” said LaEisha Meaderds, assistant to the chief for community services at the Champaign Police Department.

While Champaign has not taken on a sanctuary title, city leaders made it clear that policies are in place to protect undocumented immigrants.

Champaign County Sheriff Dan Walsh said in a September 2016 article with Illinoishomepage.net that this non-involvement is not so much a political issue, as the sanctuary debate would suggest, but a matter of legality. Citing case law from the county’s judicial circuit, Walsh said in the interview that detainers issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement do not qualify as court orders, and carrying out those detainers potentially violates the detainee’s Fourth Amendment rights.

“In the event of a court order or arrest warrant (for an undocumented immigrant), local law enforcement is obligated, as they are with any arrest warrant, to make an arrest,” said Jeff Hamilton, City of Champaign communications manager.

But Hamilton said that beyond those legal obligations,

Champaign-Urbana community members march in downtown Champaign near the Orpheum Children’s Museum as part of the March for Science. During Saturday’s event, protestors campaigned for the U.S. Government to keep funding science programs and discouraged budget cuts.

March for Science goes local

Over 5,000 people from the Champaign-Urbana community gathered for the March for Science Saturday afternoon, accord-

Starting at 5 p.m. at the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum, participants marched around downtown Champaign

before circling back to the museum to listen to speakers.

The program will cost students less than $30,000, will last 18-36 months and will have a maximum capacity of 150 students. Organizers are hoping that their capacity levels will gradually increase each year.

“In steady state, I believe we have the capacity to deliver to 1,000 new students each year,” Elliott said.

Sam Allen, junior in Business, said he hopes to pursue a graduate degree in accounting.

“The University has a really good accounting program,” Allen said. “It’s always in the top three, and some years it’s been number one, so that’s something that’s very impressive. With this new online program, people have the benefit of having one of the best Master’s programs in the country.”

The College of Business announced an online Master’s degree program for accounting students. The Illinois Master’s of Science in Accounting is expected to launch in Fall 2017.

Dean of Business Jeffrey Brown and Professor of Accounting Brooke Elliott, the incoming head of the Accounting Department spearheaded the program.

The program is the second online Accounting degree program offered in the College of Business, following the Illinois Bachelor’s of Science in Accounting, an undergraduate program which launched in 2016.

The program was constructed using current accounting courses already offered at the University.

“In terms of content, (the courses in Illinois Master’s of Science in Accounting) are proven,” Elliott said. “It’s the same content we offer on campus and have for decades.”

University students created a subreddit thread was created on April 14 to discuss College Works Painting, renewing the perennial skepticism many students have toward the company.

Reddit threads involving students discussing their experiences with the perceived ambiguity and deceptive actions taken by the company to recruit students can be dated back to 2012.

College Works Painting states that the company provides undergraduate students the opportunity to build their resume and gain marketable skills by teaching them how to manage their very own painting business.

Through the company’s guidance, students hire and train family members, friends and professional painters to paint houses in the summer under their oversight.

The company, headquartered in Irvine, Calif., received the top award in the Materials and Construction category from The American Business Awards in 2014.

University students may know College Works Painting as the company that distributes paper slips at the beginning of lectures, advertising themselves only as a “summer internship program” through which students can make $10,000 or more.

After students fi ll out information on slips, they’re contacted by one of the company’s student representatives who then invite them to attend a group information session usually held in the Illini Union. The information ses-

Student government swears in new officers

The Illinois Student G over n me nt swor e in new senators and officers Wed nesd ay eve n i n g, i nclud i n g student body President Raneem Shamseldin, junior in Business, and Vice President Joseph Domanski, junior in LAS. Speaker of the Senate Sam LeRoy, junior in Business, and director of the Senate Gabby Gendek, sophomore in Business, both retained their positions in an uncontested

election. The new executive officers welcomed the new senators to the assembly and discussed their plans for the future of the student government. “Something I’d like to work on is to better the image of student government with the rest of the University,” Domanski said. “I want the rest of the student body to realize that we are here to work for them.” Regarding the previous administration, Domanski said he will work to continue a policy of transparency between the executive branch and

the senators established by former student body President Ron Lewis, senior in Business.

In her speech to the assembly, Shamseldin urged the senators to keep their campaign promises, citing high student voter turnout in the last election cycle to remind the senators of the responsibility they hold to represent the students.

“They voted you in because they believed in you. Follow through with what you ran on,” Shamseldin said. “Let’s

start working together to leave a legacy.”

Nominations for the Senate Executive Committee were also held, and included senators Tara Chattoraj, junior in LAS; Rahul Raju, junior in Engineering; Bryan Parthum, graduate student in LAS; Syed Sufyan new senator in LAS and LeRoy. The student trustee election will be held from April 26 to 27. Students can cast their vote at vote. illinois.edu.

“If you go to any career fair, you come back with like 30 sheets of paper easily, because everyone is just trying to get their information out there,” Clawson said.

“And to me, it just seemed really sketchy that they didn’t even want me to hold on to the papers.”

Wade Kinney, now a manager for College Works Painting and a junior in LAS, interned under the company during his sophomore year.

Kinney’s initial experiences with the company were almost identical to Clawson’s. Kinney said that he had no idea that the company involved painting until the information session given.

“I thought it was the sketchiest thing ever before I ever did it,” Kinney said.

“I almost didn’t do it because of the company’s reputation online.”

After the information session, Clawson started to research College Works Painting online to learn more about the company, and what experiences people had with it.

“All I could see were posts similar to mine (on Reddit) from a bunch of other students from different schools and other

Brown said that one of the goals of the program is to eliminate the geographic restraints placed on students wishing to pursue a degree from the University.

“High achieving students anywhere in the world will now have the opportunity to pursue a degree from one of the best Accountancy departments in the world without having to be physically present on campus,” he added.

Big Ten schools about the skepticism and bad personal experiences people had with the company,” Clawson said.

Clawson speculates that a pseudonym was given to him in place of College Works Painting to prevent him from researching the company online prior to the information session.

“I think that if they had wanted me to know about their company, they would have given me their real name,” Clawson said.

“Because it was so easy for me to dig up all of this dirt just by knowing the name of the company. They were trying to deceive me from the start.”

Kinney decided to get involved with the program regardless and said that it was one of the most rewarding experiences he’s had.

“It’s so unique when you sit down with some random college student who tells you that you have the opportunity to make 10 grand over the summer,” Kinney said.

“Why wouldn’t you be a little skeptical?”

Kinney, who now helps to promote the company to other University students, said that the company uses the name “Summer Internship Program” in place of College Works Painting to prevent a lack of interest.

“It’s sort of like a marketing tool,” Kinney said.

“If we go around saying ‘Hey, we’re College Works Painting,’ the initial thought that people would have would be, “I

don’t want to be a painter.

I don’t want to do this.’”

Though the company uses “Summer Internship Program,” Clawson said that this wasn’t the pseudonym used in his phone conversation.

Tom Ackmann, Vice P resident of College Works Painting in Illinois and Engineering alumnus, said he doesn’t know how to avoid the skepticism University students show toward the company: “It’s one of the biggest challenges I face on a day-today basis.”

Ackmann said he wants students to give the program a chance instead of focusing on Reddit comments.

“I’m bummed because 99 percent of the information on that page (Reddit threads) comes from people who haven’t actually done this (internship),” Ackmann said. “I’ve never had an intern who hasn’t said it wasn’t the best thing for their future.”

Clawson said that the company’s marketing to students needs to be revised if it wishes to continue business at the University.

“There is absolutely no transparency between the student and the interviewer or company, at least at the initial stages,” Clawson said.

“They should really be honest with students and claim from the get-go what they’re about, rather than trying to deceive them.”

“At the very beginning, we said we want to change science, but where does that come from? How do we get more people involved in science? And Sam said it starts from school.”

During the preparation stage, the team had encountered some difficulties as some members of the community were hesitant to participate. However, the march turned out to be a huge success, said Sotiropoulos.

IMMIGRATION the city is typically not involved with Immigration and Customs Enforcement tasks. The urge to distinguish local law enforcement from Immigration and Customs Enforcement can be traced back several years, when the Secure Communities program was established in 2009. The program, which allowed Immigration and Customs Enforcement to utilize local law enforcement to carry out immigration tasks, was met with resistance. Some cities refused to comply, not just on legal concerns, but as a matter of effective policing. “The push back from law enforcement is that to do their work, which is protecting communities, they really need the collaboration and cooperation of citizens,” said Mike Doyle, University YMCA director.

“When you tie your local police to the threat of taking people away, then people don’t want to cooperate with police, and that undermines (the police’s) trust in the community.”

A new bill introduced to the Illinois House in February, called the Illinois Trust Act, would officially prohibit detaining an individual “solely on the basis of any immigration detainer or administrative warrant … after that individual becomes eligible for release from custody.”

The bill is currently under review.

“Some people we talked to today, who were skeptical about the march, said this was a really great event.

We really overcame those obstacles.”

The whole event started with the kick-off speech given by May Berenbaum, professor and head of the Department of Entomology, and Saba TesfayeManetti, a high school student.

“Science is a way of learning about (the) world.

It’s an economic engine, keeps us safe and secure, and provides technology that makes life livable,” Berenbaum said. “The important point to make is that science doesn’t have political parties and agendas other than to advance knowledge.”

According to the official March for Science’s press webpage, there were 400 different Marches for Science happening across 37 different countries around

the world on Saturday, and the organizers of the Champaign march wanted to make theirs unique.

“We all planned our marches separately from the main March for Science,” said Sotiropoulos. “For the most part (the ideas were) our own, because we want to reflect Champaign and our own community.”

Following the march, five speakers shared their personal stories on how science changed their lives.

“To me, science means more than just facts, more than memorizing the periodic table,” said Amy Betzelberger, a plant biologist.

“Science is really scientific thinking. It’s an approach to understand, to explore the world, and then have the capacity to change the world by asking questions, using logical reasoning, problem solving and collaboration.”

EBERTFEST

‘Being There’ explores political climate, race

BY TAYLOR WEGNER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“Being There” tells the story of a simple-minded, television-addicted gardener named Chance. Chance’s white male privilege allows him to experience comically ridiculous upward social mobility.

He is entirely dependent on others for his care, as he was educated solely by television. He cannot read , write or prepare food for himself. Chance’s boss and caretaker dies, and he is left homeless and alone. He encounters a wealthy family following a minor accident and is consequently provided with shelter and food.

Despite his obvious mental impediments, the family is oblivious to any peculiarities. His association with the wealthy, influential family earns him political influence. He then is able to meet with the president of the United States and have a television interview.

Although the film is layered with tactful humor, the story is quite sad. It aimed to parody and exaggerate white privilege, but this fictional story was not far off from reality. White people born into rich families frequently achieve high ranking positions regardless of their competence.

Caleb Deschanel, the film’s cinematographer, hosted a Q&A after the movie. Deschanel said the film was not meant to be political.

“It is a film about the human condition and how we see our lives,” Deschanel said. Regardless, there were prominent political and ideological undertones. The satire against white supremacy was overt. Shortly after James loses his home, he passes some graffiti that reads, “America ain’t s--cause the white man’s gotta God complex.”

This message is irrelevant for the illiterate James, who cannot even comprehend the message, and parallels the

reality in which he is entirely unaffected by systematic racism. The only person who is keen to James’ mental disabilities is his former caretaker, a black woman named Lois. Lois sees James on television after his “insightful” interview about his conversation with the president.

Lois said, “It’s a white man’s world in America.

All you have to be is white in America. You get whatever you want.”

Deschanel said he was embarrassed about how true many of the racial scenes still are, and how in 30 years, nothing’s really changed.

In this way, the movie highlights two sad realities of American culture — white privilege and a general disregard for the prevalence and severity of mental illness. Although James consistently benefits from his white privilege, it is troubling that he is put into a position where he would have to fend for himself after the death of his boss.

The portrayal of James’ cluelessness does not act as a mere dismissal of mental illness; it serves the purpose of showing white ignorance and men’s infantile dependence upon women for basic self-care. The critique is placed upon the members of the upper class who are oblivious and selfabsorbed. They fail to recognize that the man they refer to as “Chauncey” is in genuine need of help, so much as realize that his name is actually James.

The film’s emphasis on television was almost prescient. “Being There” was created almost 40 years ago, but the way it handled the theme of entertainment is still relevant. James’s inability to read the newspaper reflects contemporary attitudes toward receiving news and information outside of visual and auditory sources. His fixation on television screens foreshadowed Americans’ current absorp-

tion in televised media.

The movie is far ahead of its time, and the commercials and shows that were displayed on James’ television effectively captured the zeitgeist of late ’70s television.

There were ample instances of bad advertising, along with scenes from workout shows, “Sesame Street” and “Mister Roger’s Neighborhood.”

The film’s criticism of white privilege comes full circle by the movie’s conclusion. In the final scene, James walks on water, and his embodiment of white supremacy is most overt.

Preceding this event, a group of wealthy men in attendance at a funeral discuss the possibility of James becoming president. James, who has benefitted to the fullest extent from his white privilege, is given godlike capabilities.

After the film, Deschanel discussed his experience with being a cinematographer. He was involved in the cinematography for numerous movies, such as “Passion of the Christ” (2004) and “The Black Stallion” (1979). Deschanel has experience as a director for television shows, including “Twin Peaks” and “Bones.”

Deschanel said he was wary of watching his old work and seeing the mistakes he would make. In regards to “Being There,” he drew attention to the way in which the majority of scenes were shot at eye level and with little camera movement in order to ascribe realism to the scenes. Deschanel said he was opposed to moving the camera merely for the sake of moving it.

Although Deschanel initially said the movie was not meant to be political, he retracted this statement.

“The film’s really about power and politics,” Deschanel said.

Nate Kohn (second from left) and Chaz Ebert (far right) present Hugh Dancy and Tanya Weller with the “Golden Thumb” award at Ebertfest. Weller’s film “Hysteria” starring Dancy was screened Thursday afternoon at the Virginia Theatre.

‘Hysteria’ delivers good vibes in Victorian-era romantic comedy

BY JULIE SCHREINER AND NESSA STEINBERG BUZZ WRITERS

“Hysteria” was directed

by Tanya Wexler, niece of the famous cinematographer Haskell Wexler. Hugh Dancy stars as Dr. Mortimer Granville, an oldfashioned physician, Maggie Gyllenhaal is Charlotte Dalrymple, a woman ahead of her time.

Based on the true story about the invention of the vibrator by Dr. Granville, the film is a romantic comedy at the heart of it.

Feminist undertones and witty dialogue straight out of Jane Austen’s playbook juxtaposes against raunchy and comedic moments.

The timing is suited for our modern tastes, making “Hysteria” not neatly fit into any one category.

As Chaz Ebert, wife of the late film critic, recounted while introducing the film, she and Roger saw “Hysteria” at its opening at the Cannes Film Festival in 2011. Tanya Wexler is a family friend of theirs and the film, as Chaz described it, received a two thumbs up from Roger.

He intended for Tanya and the film to come to his festival; however, that didn’t happen before his death in 2013. This gave the showing a little more gravity as the choice became more meaningful after learning the film was hand-picked by Roger.

One of the most interesting part of this experience was not that this was our first Ebertfest. Instead, it was sharing the room with nearly 1,500 adults, laughing at orgasm and masturbation jokes expertly delivered by Rupert Ever-

ett, double entendres slyly inserted into serious dialogue and ultimately acknowledging the fact that we have lived with the knowledge and benefits of a vibrator.

If you were not comfortable talking about sex, masturbation or female genitalia, this was not the room to be in. This theme continued into the Q&A with special guests Tanya Wexler and Dancy.

Wexler described the end of the diagnosis of hysteria.

“It’s not that the diagnosis ended officially in 1952,” Wexler said. “People kind of realized (the vibrator) was not a medical device. It was used as basically porn in the ’40s and ’50s. That part of it, in terms of the fiction of hysteria, I’m not sure has fully gone away. People call girls hysteric all the time.”

She thinks it’s really a film about denial, which she finds helps the movie become a comedy.

“The vibrator was invented for a guy, in a sense,” Wexler said.

The tone of “Hysteria” was set to be funny and moving.

“The challenge for me I realized was trying as much as possible to unify all the tones and quite different story lines,” Dancy said.

“We had to make it a romantic comedy somewhere in the middle, which was really tough. But (the film) needed it to kind of drive the movie through.”

Throughout the film, Dancy’s character is sort of relating with Gyllenhaal’s, which Dancy said he introduced into the

script.

“Between them (there needs) to be the battle of the sexes, which drives a romantic comedy,” Dancy said.

T he i nter v iewe es described the procedure in the movie as Dancy trying to fish a coin from under a couch.

“You realize the guy doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing and he’s terrified,” Dancy said. “We had this brief rehearsal where we thought how these scenes (are) going to work for the comfort of everybody involved. The end result was that the practitioner is just going to use a sandbag, which is used on a lot of film sets.”

“You know, to give you something to lean into. It is actually the case that both (Jonathan Pryce and I) kind of developed little blisters from days worth of filming,” Dancy said. “And it boiled down to a few minutes of screen time.”

Wexler and Dancy were asked about the actresses who had to be filmed pretending to orgasm and acting out such an intimate scene.

“Thinking about it now it’s such a specific and fraud thing to ask those actresses to do,” Dancy said. “I doubt they were thinking much about us (the practitioners); we were just there working away.”

Wexler said the best joke in the movie is the reality of it, implying the frequency of performance during intimate encounters and the double meaning that accompanies foreplay.

EDITORIAL

Continuing the mental health conversation

L

ast week, a deadly fire occurred at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. It was later revealed that the individual had acted intentionally.

This time of year is known for such tragic acts. Spring is one season with some of the highest suicide rates, and April is one of the highest months, especially among young adults.

Suicide is currently the second-leading cause of death among 20 to 24-yearolds. This includes college students on campuses around the country.

Spring can bring sobering clarity as it gets warmer outside and responsibilities begin to pile up.

We realize the school year is ending, and we begin to plan out a productive summer — and if you’re a graduating senior, planning out what happens next. It’s stressful and overwhelming. It can seem like no opportunities are available to us, but they happen along the way. For seniors who might not have anything “lined up” after graduation, don’t worry. We know you’ve heard this many times, but it’s true. You are smart and capable. Give yourself time to appreciate

your accomplishment.

College can be deeply isolating as seemingly everyone around us is having a great time. We are told, “College is the best four years of your life.” If it’s true for you, embrace and cherish it. But this time at the University does not need to be what defines the rest of our lives.

College is emotionally taxing, and sometimes it might feel like you are the only one struggling. But you’re not. You never are.

There are more than 1,000 suicides on college campuses per year.

It is important to realize that no matter how alone you feel, there is always going to be someone willing to listen. Maybe it’s a friend from high school who you haven’t spoken to for some months, a professor whose class you enjoy or a professional resource at an independent practice or one that is through the University. There are people we encounter on a weekly basis who we may think we have no impact on, but we do. College can become a lonely and stressdriven experience, but this campus also wouldn’t be the same without you. Your family and friends, classmates and coworkers, pro-

fessors and mentors are all cheering for you. They want you to succeed Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. One in 12 U.S. college students makes a suicide plan. It is gut-wrenching that so many halt their futures before they even get their toes wet, removing opportunities by subtracting themselves from the equation due to a flawed vision of the outcome.

This is not an easy subject to confront, but the reality is that suicides occur all over the country, and college students are no exception. Not talking about them won’t stop individuals from choosing to take their own lives away. While it may be too ambitious to dream of a world where suicide doesn’t exist all together, the least we can do is show compassion and hope for a changed reality.

Please seek help if you feel mentally unwell or are considering suicide by contacting the Counseling Center at (217) 333-704 or call 1-800-272-8255 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Know that while the future is uncertain, things won’t stay this way forever and change is never as far off as we believe it to be.

A school of fish hovers over staghorn coral on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Columnist Tyler Panlilio says climate change is responsible for the decline of the reef, and encourages students to be aware of climate change.

Earth Day can be every day TYLER PANLILIO Columnist

T

he Great Barrier Reef is dying, and climate change is to blame.

The corals that make up the reef are the subject of many recent studies regarding the collapse of one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

Coral bleaching is a direct result of climate change. Warmer water temperatures cause corals to release the algae responsible for providing pigmentation and energy to the invertebrates. If the bleaching is severe, the possibility of recovery is extremely low. But even if recovery is possible, it could take several decades for coral to completely recover.

A study published last month in the journal Nature found that “in 2016, only 8.9 percent of 1,156 surveyed reefs escaped with no bleaching, compared to 42.4 percent of 631 reefs in 2002.”

Although there are efforts being made to prevent and mitigate further damage, it might be too late to save the Great Barrier Reef. Last year marked the fourth instance of mass coral bleaching within the last 20 years. Going by that

trend, there’s no reason why another mass bleaching will occur in the near future.

I remember learning about the Great Barrier Reef in the fi rst grade and watching “Finding Nemo” at my aunt’s apartment a week later. Reading factoids about the world’s largest living structure and seeing the vibrant color of the reef in pictures had my 6-year-old self in awe.

It’s unsettling to think that future generations will learn about this ecosystem only to fi nd out that it is on the verge of death or already gone.

What our teachers taught us in science and geography class will still be taught to our kids — there’s little doubt in that.

But the only difference is that some of these topics will be in history class instead.

Climate change is real, and it’s happening at a much more alarming rate than anyone had expected. The destruction of the Great Barrier Reef is only one example of the loss of biodiversity on this planet. Coupled with melting of the Arctic Circle and the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, it’s difficult to argue that the only ones to blame aren’t ourselves.

In truth, there are limited options we can do as

students to make a significant impact in the long run. Even if 10,000 people collectively reduce their carbon footprint by half in their lifetimes, it amounts to one less drop in the bucket. And it’s extremely frustrating knowing that.

But it doesn’t mean we can’t try.

Students on campus should at least be aware of what they consume and how they could reduce it. Alternatives can be as small as choosing to walk, bike or even take public transportation when traveling instead of using a car. Reducing energy usage when indoors — even if it means being a bit cold in the winter and hot in the summer — can help too. Maybe spend a Sunday afternoon planting a tree somewhere.

Earth Day has passed, but who says that we can’t celebrate it every day?

We shouldn’t spend only one day of the year reducing our carbon footprint; instead, it can be an active effort, something that we do day-to-day not only for ourselves, but for future generations as well.

Earth is all we’ve ever had. We should at least try to reduce the damage we do to it.

uring a 2009 meeting with Republicans to discuss the nature of the stimulus package designed to reboot the American economy, President Barack Obama expressed his frustration with the stalled negotiations: “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.”

That remark went down as one of Obama’s most infamous, and Republicans have often reiterated the barb since Donald Trump won the presidency in November.

Some of the consequences of Trump’s election are already present, while others remain on the horizon for now.

But one issue stands out as frustratingly urgent despite seeming so far away: climate change.

Despite a 97 percent expert consensus that humans are responsible for climate change, only 48 percent of regular Americans believe the same. That half of our society completely rejects climate science is the most devastating symptom of a culture of antiintellectualism that’s far too present in the U.S. Now, America’s president claims climate change is a hoax, and he plans to severely cut funding for important scientific departments such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institutes of Health.

In response to these and other transgressions, an estimated 40,000 demonstrators in Chicago and thousands more across the world marched Saturday to promote support for scientists and celebrate Earth Day. Famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson crafted his own message a week earlier about the state of science in the U.S. His message was similar to that of the marchers: He hopes for a future in which people either understand science or at least accept the universal truths of the practice.

“When you have an established scientific emergent truth, it is true whether or not you believe in it,” Tyson said. “And the sooner you understand that, the faster we can get on with the political conversations about how to solve the problems that face us.”

It may be easy to push aside climate concerns given that most people alive today will never experience the harshest repercussions of our actions, but there are other issues still in question politically that could harm us at any moment.

Conspiracy theories have moved past the future of our planet and into our level of trust in vaccinations, an issue that should’ve been solved long ago when doctors effectively eradicated diseases such as smallpox from the world.

If enough parents disregard the necessity of vaccinations — 43 percent of parents with children ages 0-4 currently and incorrectly believe MMR

vaccines carry at least a medium risk of damaging side effects — then we will lose the benefits of “herd immunity” and put everyone’s children at risk.

Somehow, these two issues themselves have become part of our political discourse instead of their solutions. We quibble over whether fact is fact instead of discussing how to prevent or promote the obvious.

Given the state of climate discussions in Congress today, we’re almost certainly headed for a future in which our grandchildren look back and wonder, “Why didn’t they do anything?”

We trust dentists to clean our teeth, even though there’s no justifiable reason for it to hurt so much. We trust construction companies to build the floors we stand on, despite the terrifying nature of standing 10 stories high. We even trust hair stylists to handle our image, despite the potential for disastrous, embarrassing failure.

Our entire society is built on an inherent and implied trust in others.

That’s how the U.S. stands where it does today. We have every reason to believe in scientists to do their jobs, and no reason to believe that we know better.

“Every minute one is in denial, you are delaying the political solution that should have been established years ago,” Tyson said.

Animal Expo introduces community children to wildlife

BY TAYLOR WEGNER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Allerton Park and Kickapoo State Park are two of many places where local community members can interact with wildlife; however, the opportunity for wildlife interaction isn’t as available in the urbanized Champaign-Urbana area.

For this reason, the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum hosted the Animal Expo Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m., in which local wildlife, along with a few domestic animals, were featured.

At the event, children learned about how to interact with animals that they otherwise would not have the chance to encounter.

Vanessa Cook and Allie McGraw, seniors in ACES, helped coordinate the event.

Cook and McGraw explained how the animal sciences curriculum includes a course in which students participate in a local internship.

Their internship, as Orpheum animal caretakers, culminated in a community outreach project — the Animal Expo.

After contacting various students and local organizations, Cook and McGraw, despite constraints on availability and accommodations, brought together a sizeable collection of animals for the event. In addition, they created various animal-related activities for children, like a scooter course that was designed as a dinosaur habitat.

“Student organizations weren’t as receptive, they were really busy with a lot of other things,” Cook said.

“It’s the end of the semester, getting to that point, but the local organizations that we did contact were local shelters, places like the Wildlife Medical Clinic and Wings of Wonder.

They were really recep-

SALAD to be conscious of the fact that we’re running out of space for waste,” Webster said.

Customers can build their own salad or wrap for $8.19 or select one of the signature salads and wraps like the “Hail Caesar” and “Asian Zing” for varying prices.

There are 14 different dressings and some have unique twists, like; bacon honey mustard, cranberry citrus, roasted red pepper and garlic and chianti basil vinaigrette.

General manager Brett Lehmann joined Salad Meister because of the unique idea.

“It struck me as odd when I started thinking about how there really isn’t a place to go build a salad or a wrap

tive to it, really excited for the event.”

Members of local wildlife shelters and rehabilitation clinics who were in attendance provided information on the animals that they brought along, and some even gave demonstrations.

“This sounded like a good idea, just bringing the community together and teaching the kids about animals,” McGraw said. “I feel like that’s something that doesn’t really ever happen.”

The University’s Wildlife Medical Clinic takes in and rehabilitates injured animals, and continues to care for the animals that cannot be released back into the wild after treatment, according to public relations coordinator Darcy Stephenson.

During their stay at the clinic, these animals are trained through positive reinforcement and take on an educational purpose in order to allow members of the community to become informed about the local wildlife.

For the Animal Expo, the Wildlife Medical Clinic brought along four animals.

Three were birds that naturally reside in central Illinois, including a Red-Tailed Hawk, a Red Morph Eastern Screech Owl with wing injuries and a one-eyed American Kestrel.

The fourth animal was a massive Blue-Tongued Skink. Unlike the birds, the skink is native to Australia.

Although these animals suffered unfortunate accidents, Stephenson said at the clinic they are “treated like kings and queens.”

Because the animals at the Wildlife Medical Clinic are in a fragile physical state, guests were asked not to touch them.

Various shelters, however, were present and urged kids to interact with their

animals.

Wings of Wonder, an avian rescue shelter, allowed visitors to pet the many parrots, cockatoos and other birds that they brought along.

Members of the local dog shelter, Pet Net, also attended and brought a few dogs that are currently in search of permanent homes.

In addition, a few volunteers came with their own pets. Some of these pets included guinea pigs, cats and a ball python.

Of all of the exhibits, the one held by the University Department of Entomology was the largest. Children surrounded the entomology table to have a look at their collection of live insects. A few brave participants stepped up to hold the grasshoppers, tarantulas and hissing cockroaches, while their parents snapped pictures. Others shouted an indignant “no thanks!” when asked if they would like to hold a bug.

Along with the live insects, the members of the Department of Entomology had a collection of preserved butterflies, moths and beetles on display.

While the children congregated around the table, the Department of Entomology members educated them on the bugs they were interacting with by providing the insects’ species names and information on their habitats and diets.

Cook said she’s excited that so many children learned about the different kinds of animals and wildlife around the world.

“It’s so diverse. I mean, animal science encompasses so many things,” Cook said.

“It could be everything from the nutrition of the animal down to what its hair is made out of.”

except for a grocery store,” Lehmann said.

“But if you go to a grocery store, they do it by weight and you end up paying 15, 16, 20 bucks for a salad.”

Lehmann said there are the build-your-own salad or wrap places like Freshii or Choppe, but they haven’t moved into the college markets yet.

When Meister was in college, he had his own struggles finding healthy food for an affordable price.

Since he was paying out of his own pocket, at the end of every semester he found himself without any money left and went three or four days without fresh food.

He said his personal experiences were part of his motivation for creating the restaurant.

A red morph eastern screech owl perches at the Animal Expo. The Orpheum Children’s Museum hosted the event Saturday, where children interacted with the animals.

“It’s welcome to everyone, and anyone can come in here and find something they like.”

The restaurant will have their staple items and signature salads year round, but they plan to introduce seasonal specialty items.

Salad Meister is having its soft open next week.

Facebook page followers will be invited for a halfpriced menu.

The grand opening will be either late next week or the first week in May. They are planning a fourday event with DJs, special lighting and free tastes of menu items.

The restaurant is not stopping in Champaign.

They have plans to grow and expand to other college markets in Illinois as well as across the country.

Every Salad Meister will have its own identity depending on what territory it is in.

Lehmann said he can’t wait until they open more stores and hopefully fran-

chise the restaurant.

“This is the fi rst of its kind. Hopefully it’s going to grow into a company that will never sacrifice its integrity, and as it evolves, so will the menu,” Lehmann said.

“If someone franchises out in Florida, they’ll most likely have grilled shrimp and grouper on the menu because they’re on the coast. But the concept, the design, everything will be the same.”

With its extensive menu options, Salad Meister aims to appease every customer’s appetite.

“This place, it’s not pretentious. It’s welcome to everyone, and anyone can come in here and fi nd something they like,” Lehmann said. “Vegetarians, vegans, omnivores, which I am, and carnivores. We’ve got something for everyone.”

MICHELLE TAM THE DAILY ILLINI

The Virginia Theatre marquee is illuminated for Ebertfest on Friday. The 19th annual Roger Ebert Film Festival is hosted at the theatre from April 19 to 23. This year’s fest is not afraid to get political.

Ebertfest praised politics, women in film

BY JOSEPH LONGO MANAGING EDITOR FOR REPORTING

Following the Thursday afternoon screening of “To Sleep With Anger,” writer and director Charles Burnett sat onstage while a woman in the back right corner asked him a question. As a white woman, she expressed her struggle to understand the familial circumstances of the dysfunctional black family in Burnett’s 1990 film.

Burnett understood the woman’s struggle; he’d been in her position many times.

“I feel comfortable watching a movie by Spielberg,” Burnett said. “It seems all my life I grew with those

kinds of movies, and it’s kind of unfair.”

Director and actor Robert Townsend, moderating the discussion, quickly interjected. He knew how to relate to Spielberg’s films, and he wanted the woman to do the same with Burnett’s.

“He’s giving you such a beautiful glimpse into a complicated family, but it’s still family,” Townsend said.

“The theme is really universal, but sometimes the music and slang can be different.”

Chaz Ebert hosts Ebertfest, which honors her late husband and acclaimed fi lm critic Roger Ebert.

She focuses on kindness, empathy and compassion —

the words Townsend wanted the woman to embrace instead of understanding.

But this year, she added a new adjective to the mantra she calls her life’s mission: forgiveness.

She doesn’t shy away from letting the audience know the importance of her four words. And she isn’t afraid to repeat them throughout the weekend.

Ebert also isn’t afraid to speak politically at the central Illinois film festival.

Ebert and festival director Nate Kohn select the films to screen, and they’ve made a conscious choice to use her four words as a political statement. The festival

opened Wednesday night with “Hair,” the 1979 fi lm adaption of the blockbuster musical. It’s an inherently political festival introduction. “It is vital and important. This country is in serious trouble — worse, in my opinion, than ‘68,” said Michael Butler, the fi lm’s producer. While “Hair” tackles the 1960s anti-war, counter-cultural movement, the subsequent screenings showcase another specific focus.

Ebertfest is telling women’s stories through different decades.

“The Handmaiden,” a 2016 erotic thriller from South Korea, uses a lesbian love

Just three months after her Best Actress Oscar nomination, Isabelle Huppert visited Champaign to accompany the screening of “Elle.” In the 2016 French thriller, Huppert is a rape victim subverting expec-

tations. Huppert said she liked the unemotional, nonpsychological character. She wanted to play a someone that was “alive.”

“What I was interested in was to reflect something as truthful as possible,” Huppert said. “This character, this film in particular and that story allowed me to do so.” Ebertfest continues through Sunday at the Virginia Theatre in downtown Champaign, ending with an 11 a.m. showing of the 2004 musical “De-Lovely.”

Salad Meister to bring healthier dining options to campus

BY EMMA PALATNIK ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR

Campustown is full of fast-food restaurants, but a new, healthier option is opening up next week — Salad Meister.

The restaurant is located at 601 S. Third St., between Latea and Ozu Ramen. It will be open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Items on the restaurant’s menu are under $10 and can be prepared in two minutes or less.

Robert Meister, the res-

taurant’s owner, said he uses high quality ingredients that many restaurant chains don’t.

“The quality of chicken that we’re getting is a freerange organic chicken that gets no hormones of any kind,” Meister said. “A lot of the greens and vegetables that we’re getting are all organic. None of them have any GMOs, very little pesticide use and a lot of those things that add up.”

Meister designed the restaurant so that everything is either recycled, recyclable or biodegradable.

“Our soup cups are literally recycled plastic bottles that are turned into a biodegradable material,” Meister said. “And our salad containers themselves are 100 percent biodegradable. So if you literally threw it outside, it would biodegrade in under 120 days.”

Mia Webster, freshman in AHS, works at Salad Meister. She said the restaurant has a very small footprint in causing the buildup of trash in landfi lls.

Illinois’ bulldog of Barstool BASEBALL FEATURE

BY STEPHEN COHN STAFF WRITER

AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ relief pitcher Charlie Naso throws a fastball against St. Louis University at Illinois Field in 2015. Naso is now at the widely popular company Barstool Sports.

Chuck Naso was a local baseball legend at the allmale St. Laurence High School in Burbank, Illinois.

There were stories of a south suburban kid on the mound who would attack hitters. Scouts were impressed with his ability at the plate, especially after he hit .367 with four home runs and 27 RBIs in 2009.

One of the top prospects in the state, Naso was headed for big things in Champaign.

Suddenly, it all came crumbling down.

Naso strained the ulnar collateral ligament in his right arm during his senior year in 2011. A typical professional baseball pitcher has reconstruction surgery — colloquially known as Tommy John surgery — on his UCL. “They advised me not to get Tommy John surgery,” Naso said. “I never really got to the same form I had in high school.”

He may have never regained the same form — his fastball topped out at 87 mph in 2016 — but he still contributed over the Illinois program’s winningest four years since the 1980s.

Naso arrived at the University in the fall of 2011 but was forced to redshirt his freshman season as he recovered.

His next four years at Illinois were spent working out of the bullpen.

Naso did not allow a run in 10 2/3 innings as a sophomore in 2014. Then he only made six appearances — totaling 5 1/3 innings — the following year when the Illini won a school-record 50 games and went on a 27-game winning streak.

While Naso made a minimal impact on the field as a junior, he said it was the year he enjoyed the most because of his teammates and how they drove him to work harder and be more competitive.

“The guys that were on that team in 2015 were the cockiest bunch of dudes at anything you do,” Naso said.

“We’d be playing cards, and they’d be talking crap. It was a bunch of guys pushing each other, and it was a good mesh.”

The competitiveness was apparent as the senior came on the scene as one of Illi-

SOFTBALL

Slap hitters provide Vukic beats No. 1 player; key to Illinois success team falls to Ohio State

BY ERICH FISHER STAFF WRITER

While slap hitting might not be considered a flashy play, it is underappreciated and valuable to a softball team's success.

The hitting technique is defined as a batter who runs at the pitcher as she swings while trying to hit it to the left side of the field. The runner then tries to utilize her speed to get on base.

The Illinois softball team has been successful so far at utilizing this style. The Illini’s primary slap hitters have a combined batting average of .322 and an onbase percentage of .364.

“They work together really well; they understand what their jobs are and that’s just to put the ball in play,” said Illinois head coach Tyra Perry. “They also have the ability to swing if they need to, and that keeps the defense guessing and off balance.”

Senior Alyssa Gunther leads the Illini's group of slap hitters.

The first baseman from Tinley Park, Ill., is having a strong individual performance this year at the plate. She’s batting .331 with an on-base percentage of .412.

The senior also has 43 hits on the season.

Gunther said she has learned a lot about herself as a slap hitter over her years on the team.

“You learn that if you have more speed, then you can do bunts or chop slaps, but for me personally, I’m not as fast of a slapper, so I prefer to power slap,” Gunther said. “It’s about knowing yourself and your abilities.”

Power slapping players swing harder, looking for line drives instead of grounders while running at the ball. While Gunther is more of a power slapper, junior Sam Acosta said that she focuses more on just making contact when she slap hits. “(I've) just been focusing on

putting the ball in play and making teams make a play. So far, it’s been working,” Acosta said. “We have those big hitters in our lineup, so it’s nice to mix it up.”

Acosta is having a solid season at the plate, batting .286 with an on-base percentage of .310.

Perry credited her slappers' success so far this season to their ability to feed off one another — something that is easy to do when they are so close to each other in the lineup.

Acosta and junior Leigh Farina bat seventh and eighth in the lineup, respectively, while sophomore Kiana Sherlund and Gunther bat first and second, respectively.

By the second or third inning, the slap hitters bat practically back-to-back. This sets the table perfectly for Illinois’ power hitters like senior Nicole Evans and sophomore Stephanie Abello, who are batting a combined .360 with 25 home runs and 79 RBIs on the season.

“They feed off each other, and they play team ball,” Perry said.

“They like to pass the bat around, and that has been a big key for us.”

One reason Gunther feels the slap hitters have been successful this season is their control at the plate. Their ability to put the ball wherever and whenever they want has given them an advantage this year.

Gunther will be looking to connect on her ideal slap hit through the left side of the infield when they face off against Wisconsin in the first game of a three-game home set, starting April 28.

“I’m a very calm and relaxed player, and I try to feed that off to other people,” Gunther said. “We just try to have the same mentality going into every game and that’s play Illini softball.”

The Illinois men’s tennis team looked ready to upset No. 2 Ohio State with the stands packed Sunday.

The Illini were ready to go from the first serve, winning the doubles point behind strong performances from the doubles partners Aleks Vukic and Vuk Budic at the No. 2 spot and Gui Gomes and Aron Hiltzik at the No. 3 spot, giving them a 1-0 lead that held until the last match.

Illinois continued its strong start into singles play, as Vukic jumped all over the Intercollegiate Tennis Association No. 1 Mikael Torpegaard, winning five-straight games to take a 6-1 lead.

“I don’t think he was playing his best, so to get that first set behind me kinda gave me some confidence going into the second,” Vukic said.

A large and loud crowd — who weren’t shy to voice their support for the team — fueled the Illini.

“I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them,” Vukic said. “(I was) fighting my nerves.”

Vukic didn’t have quite as smooth of a second set but again finished strong, toppling Torpegaard 6-3. As Torpegaard’s final lob flew long, Vukic fell to his knees, letting out a passionate yell.

“These are the matches you think about after you’re done,” Vukic said.

“I’ll probably be thinking about this for a while now.”

Right after Vukic’s victory, the Illini picked up another straightsets win behind Aleks Kovacevic, who defeated his opponent on Court Four to put them up 3-0.

Needing just one more victory,

Illini win two of three at Nebraska film. Also, it’s getting pretty hectic as far as the academic part of our players’ lives, so this will give them a chance to catch up and hopefully get ahead.”

Senior Breanna Wonderly was a key factor in both of the Illini's weekend victories, despite the their not securing their fourth Big Ten series sweep of the season. She pitched a complete game shutout and only gave up three hits in Illinois' 1-0 victory Friday. The following afternoon, she notched her 17th victory of the season. Earlier this season, Wonderly threw the 12th nohitter in school history, and Perry said that she has been an instrumental part of the team’s success all year long.

“Breanna is just an awesome competitor,” Perry said. “She continues to work through situations. She’s throwing with speed. She’s changing speed, so she’s doing an excellent job. We really trust her.”

Wonderly said she doesn’t contribute much offensively, so in turn she welcomes the challenge of being one of the players trusted to take the mound for her team.

Illinois’ 34 wins are two away from its total last season and more than any single-season total during Wonderly’s freshman and sophomore seasons. She recognizes that a lot has changed within the program since 2014, but also made it clear that the team wants to go places it has never been before.

“Last year, we were challenging ourselves to get to the postseason and just believing in ourselves,” Wonderly said. “This year, we believe in ourselves, so now we’re just taking the next step forward to get to where we want to be at the end of the season.”

BY JAMES BOYD STAFF WRITER

Making history was on the horizon for the Illinois softball team.

After defeating Nebraska on Friday and Saturday, a win Sunday would have pushed its win streak to 11 games — one away from the program record set back in 2010.

But instead of picking up a victory, Nebraska shut out Illinois in the team’s worst loss of the season. The Cornhuskers scored 14 unanswered runs, and the Illini only played five innings after the NCAA mercy rule was implemented. Sophomore Taylor Edwards started the game but only played one inning after giving up four earned runs, three walks and one hit. It was her second loss on the mound this season and also the second of her career.

On the other side, Nebraska’s Cassie McClure recorded her first shutout of the season and improved her record to 8-7. The Cornhuskers are now 20-25 overall, while the Illini drop to 34-11. Head coach Tyra Perry said that Sunday’s game simply got away from her team.

“It was just (one of those) off days,” Perry said. “(The) team played great Friday and Saturday. It was two really tough matchups, and we were able to come away with the win, so we’re just going to focus on that.”

Prior to Sunday, Illinois hadn’t been shut out in a game since its loss against No. 6 Minnesota on April 2. Perry said that her team can learn a lot from the loss, and with nearly a week off until its next game, it will have time to regroup on and off the field. “We have a lot of takeaways from today’s game,” Perry said. “I think we need to break some things down.

Alex Diab works the still rings against Minnesota at Huff Hall on Jan. 28. Illinois came in third at last Sunday’s national championship.

The Sooners have not lost a college meet since fi nishing second at the 2014 NCAA championship.

Coming off a Big Ten championship in Champaign, Ohio State placed second, recording 423.700 team points.

Stanford, Minnesota and Nebraska rounded out the remaining top-six, recording 421.500, 414.200 and 421.900 team points, respectively.

Stanford senior Akash Modi won the all-around title. Less than a point sepa rated hi m from Ok la homa tea mmates sophomore Yul Moldauer and senior Allan Bower.

On Friday night, Illinois scored 421.600 in the second qualifying round.

On Saturday night, Illinois began on vault.

The team started strong with Baker and Diab tying season-best scores, 14.800 and 14.600 respectively.

After the fi rst rotation, Illinois led the field with a score of 72.550.

After the third rotation, Illinois sat in third behind Oklahoma and Stanford.

The Sooners surged ahead by 3.800 points and wouldn’t relinquish the lead for the remaining duration of the meet. Seven Sooners earned a combined total of 22 All-American honors.

During the fi fth rotation, Illinois competed on pommel horse.

Senior Tom Gibbs lead off, recording a seasonbest 14.100, and Ngai — the defending national champion in the event — concluded the set with a score of 14.800. The Illini fi nished with a team score of 70.000 in the event, which for them was the third-highest mark of the season.

Illinois ended the night on rings, well behind Ok la homa by 10.10 0 points. However, the Illini performed at a high level in the event, recording a team-high score of 70.500.

Diab concluded the night scoring 14.650 for the Illini, which later earned him All-American honors.

“Our best guys were injured and not at their best, so a lot of guys had to step up, and we had good, consistent gymnastics,” Spring said.

“That's what got us to a very high level at the end of the year, and that's commendable."

set was a thriller, with neither side pulling away.

After Hiltzik evened the score at three in the third set, the match had to be stopped to remind the crowd not to be negative toward Ohio State players.

Hiltzik pulled ahead to gain a 4-3 set advantage but eventually lost in a tiebreak, 6-7 (1-7).

The win gave Ohio State its 10th conference victory

with no losses.

After yelling at his team Friday, head coach Brad Dancer said nothing’s changed.

“This has been our season,” Dancer said.

“We had guys come out and play well, and just way too many courts where we’re not strong enough down the stretch.”

The loss snapped a sixmatch win streak for the

Illini.

Illinois ended the regular season with a 15-10 record, going 8-3 in conference.

“I think we are better than what we showed today,” Dancer said.

“It’s kind of a grind,” Naso said.

As if being a viceroy and working for 120 Sports wasn’t enough, Naso most recently took on one final responsibility, one that ties in with his connections with Barstool and the University.

Dave Williams and Mike Sterk, known to Stoolies as the bloggers’ White Sox Dave and Barstool Carl, respectively, ventured into the world of podcasting before the start of the 2017 Major League Baseball season. Williams, a Chicago White Sox diehard, and Sterk, a Chicago Cubs fanatic, started Red Line Radio, a Barstool podcast.

Within the first nine podcasts, Williams and Sterk attracted ABC7 meteorologist Cheryl Scott and White Sox general manager Rick Hahn to hop on the show.

Still, the podcast was lacking something that Naso could provide: humorous content.

“We needed someone like Chuck,” Williams said.

Naso agreed.

“I saw their social media and how it’s going,” he said.

“They had that gap where there was no video content coming out of it, so I just thought I could be that guy.”

Naso had several connections to find a way to become a content creator for Red Line Radio. He lives in Chicago; Williams is friends with his sister; he already works for Barstool, and Sterk was a former Illini pitcher.

Sterk, who graduated in 2010 from the University, had heard legends about Naso being an incredible pitcher — but also a funny guy — since his days playing high school baseball in the Chicago Cath-

olic League.

“I feel like Chuck filled the void that was there when I left Illinois,” Sterk said. “He picked up the reins of being the team clown, the funny guy, which was my role. He has embraced that.”

The hosts had no trouble letting Naso join the show’s production team, allowing him to produce videos for the podcast's Twitter account.

“I’ll get home at like two in the morning and edit a video for them,” Naso said. “I want to get my hands on anything that’s going to be successful.”

All in all, Naso works three jobs, two of them at Barstool.

He sits in front of a computer editing videos and spends time on the Internet, tweeting for a living.

He follows the 2017 edition of Illinois baseball when he can, cracking jokes at the expense of his former teammates by, of course, tweeting.

Sterk calls Naso, “a bulldog on the mound.” Expect Naso to take on more roles inside Barstool and for him to keep attacking opportunities, just like the hitters he used to face.

Although, whatever happens, Naso said he isn’t going to throw “Barstool” in front of his name: he will continue being just Chuck Naso.

"It's staggering how many people are trying to get on the website," Sterk said. "The answer to get on the website is that you have to create value, and Chuck, to his credit, has figured out a way to create value. He came in and put his head down and busted his ass."

“He’s just getting started.

The Internet is just finding out who this guy is.”

BY WILL GERARD STAFF WRITER

The Illini concluded their season Saturday, narrowly missing the ultimate goal of any NCAA team: a national championship.

Army hosted the meet at Christl Arena, in West Point, New York.

Illinois fi nished third with an overall team score of 422.100, and four gymnasts — junior Bobby Baker, sophomore Alex Diab, junior Chandler Eggleston and junior Brandon Ngai — earned six total All-American honors.

Baker and Eggleston were recognized in two separate events; Baker was recognized on rings (14.600) and vault (14.800), while Eggleston excelled on fl oor (14.400) and high bar (14.600).

Eggleston’s 14.600 on high bar was good enough for a second-place fi nish.

Diab fi nished seventh on rings (14.650), and Ngai tied for fourth on pommel horse (14.800).

CHUCK NASO nois head coach Dan Hartleb’s top options out of the bullpen. The Orland Park, Ill., native pitched 28 innings and had a team-low 2.25 ERA during the season. His ERA was lower than starting pitcher Cody Sedlock, who was the 2016 Baltimore Orioles firstround draft pick.

Unlike Sedlock, Naso wasn’t selected and his college career ended May 21, 2016. He allowed one hit and two earned runs in 2/3 of an inning on a sunny Saturday afternoon against Michigan.

“I miss just the day-in, dayout thing where you’re with your 35 best friends,” Naso said. “I’m never going to have that again in my life. You’re just going through the grind with the same guys.”

Note that Naso did not say he misses standing 60 feet and six inches away from a batter with aspirations to smash the ball over the 400foot sign in centerfield. He also doesn’t keep himself up at night because he didn't field bunts.

What Chuck Naso misses is being Illinois’ clubhouse guy.

During a rough 2016 campaign, the Illini went streaking — in a bad way. They lost seven of eight games in March and five of seven games in April en route to a modest 28-23 record.

Naso’s outgoing and quirky personality came in handy during a difficult season.

“It just made a lot of sense for me to always be a good guy in the clubhouse,” Naso said.

“I liked keeping the morale up and keeping a smile on guys’ faces and trying to make them laugh.”

The University of Illinois

Student-Athlete Handbook provides expectations of student-athletes.

The handbook states, “Student-athletes…must uphold the University’s and Division of Intercollegiate Athletics’ high ethical and moral standards at all times, whether they are on the field or court, in the classroom or in the community.”

Naso would admit him secretly running a Barstool Sports Twitter account probably did not uphold those standards.

“I was one of the first three guys to make a Barstool college account,” Naso chuckled.

“I was the first Barstool Illinois (Twitter account). I had to be completely anonymous because I was playing. It was kind of a conflict of interest.”

“Back in the day, it was bad.”

Unless you’re a 20-something-year-old male, chances are that you have never heard of Barstool Sports, the satirical sports and men’s lifestyle blog founded by Dave Portnoy.

Most Barstool bloggers have pseudonyms due to the blog’s racy and suggestive content.

Stoolies — or followers of Barstool — call Portnoy “El Presidente.”

The website began as a print publication in Massachusetts in 2004, but it has blossomed into a media empire.

Two of its most popular full-time bloggers, Big Cat and PFT Commenter, appeared on ESPN’s SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt in February.
